Should the governor or the Legislature have the power of the purse over federal funds?
If you’re not rich, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson doesn’t think you should have children. J.D. Vance makes a populist pitch to “the forgotten men and women of America.” But he’s more interested in shaming women who don’t have children than he is in actual family-friendly policies.
Residents in the 8th CD will vote in two separate elections that will have the same names on the same ballot for the same position, but only to serve different terms.
GOP US Senate candidate says Black men have lived on ‘handouts’ and ‘welfare checks.’
Wisconsin would join 34 other states whose governors and legislators share authority over major federal funding allocations.
The Democratic field depends on whether Gov. Tony Evers decides to run for a third term.
The data for Wisconsin, nation offers a less euphoric conclusion.
The energy was palpable as approximately 3,000 supporters gathered for Vice President Kamala Harris’ inaugural rally of her presidential campaign, some traveling from as far as Iowa to witness this historic event at West Allis Central High School.

Wisconsin citizens seeking to understand the open records and meetings laws have at their fingertips a valuable resource: the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Public Records and Open Meetings compliance guides.
In the Badger State, any 16- or 17-year-old with at least a 3.0 grade point average is eligible to serve as a poll worker.
Across the country, poorly designed ballot drop box programs have been widely associated with election security concerns. If the procedures surrounding the drop box security, use, and placement are not transparent, fair, and honest, drop boxes have the potential to upend voter confidence.
Expanding Medicaid isn’t just popular, it’s also the right thing to do. It’s about giving more people the chance to live healthier, more stable lives.
Voting “yes” on both amendments emphasizes a desire for greater legislative involvement and oversight in financial matters. On the other hand, a “no” vote gives preference to the current system where the governor retains significant control over financial decisions regarding federal funding.
If you were to define success as catering to the fringe whims of the far-left and putting our children’s future in harm’s way, Kamala Harris would be the most accomplished politician in American history.
